For a 20" National Match rifle, the sling is a fundamental competition component of the rifle, and it's generally pretty thick and heavy.  Upgrading some rifle cases, but kind of trying to work though a best case of "how do I do this..?"

Case (got a sweet deal)


Started Pluck and Pull(ing), and here's the rifle in it:




Hmm... The sling...

It kind of should work like that - I guess.  But I have a guess that upper hook is going to scratch up the gun pretty good like that.

since a rifle match usually ends with the sling detached from the back of the rifle- I guess it wouldn't be the end of the world to just leave it detached, and maybe roll it up like this, when done with the prone shooting...



I'm curious if others have trod this path, and what you came up with.    Trying to get it finalized before I lock the foam down with the Super77 and the PastiDip.

You could leave the rear detached and roll the sling in a circle below the front swivel.

You have plenty of space below the front swivel.  Tools?  Mags ?  You’re on the right path.

yes, I'll do at least 2 mags, and a tools slot as well (I've gotten into the habit of using glasses cases).  heres how SFAR is set up, which I only barely run sling, and have a QT bipod, so that I wqs able to easily leave detached.  for this gun, it needs to stay attached to the front swivel.

OTHER PROJECT (SFAR) for comparison  (where sling detachment was acceptable)

Here's what the second (smaller) case broke down to for another Service Rifle.  I took this approach for the sling.  We'll see how it holds up.

The pictured rifle is essentially how my service rifle is cased. I have a quad-rail and UBR stock, so my sling is on QD swivels. It gets detached, folded, and cased as shown
